About Beacon Orthodontic Associates
Early phase 1 treatment for young children and fast turnaround on broken brackets or lost retainers set this Brookline practice apart, under Dr. Emily Sachs.
Reviews highlight early treatment for younger children far more than typical, alongside a responsive team that handles broken appliances and urgent issues on short notice, sometimes even outside normal hours. Dr. Emily Sachs, who took over the practice from a prior owner, is described as thorough and detail-oriented with complicated cases, and the transition is noted as smooth. Reviewers across ages, from kids to adults finishing Invisalign ahead of schedule, report favorable results, including bite corrections and resolved TMJ symptoms.

Everyone at Beacon Orthodontic Associates is SO kind and good at what they do! Dr. Sachs knows exactly what she's doing, and she does it all with such warmth and grace. Breelan and Margaret are attentive, compassionate dental assistants, and Lin, the office manager, is always on top of things. I felt truly cared for at every appointment, which made my 18 months of Invasilgn treatment much easier. And I couldn't be happier with the results! Beacon Orthodontic Associates is absolutely the right choice!

Our kids are being followed at Beacon Orthodontics, and the entire team does a great job. We spend a lot of time working with Lin and she’s been great. She’s kind and communicates everything in a clear and thoughtful way. She takes the time to walk you through the plan in a way that’s easy to understand, which helps us stay consistent and do our part. As parents, we take ownership of our role in the process and take pride in that, knowing her goal is to help us. It really feels like a true partnership, and that makes every visit feel worthwhile.

I have never felt more comfortable in a dental office before. Braces were always so daunting to me but the team at Beacon Orthodontic Associates made it so easy and comfortable. Not only is the team amazing at what they do, they are so welcoming and kind. You can tell they care deeply not only for their work but also for their patients. I couldn't be happier with how my teeth look now!
